The technique of tracheobronchial biopsy in the horse and its application in evaluation of the response of respiratory epithelium to stall confinement
… examination; cytological evaluation of transtracheal aspirate, and histological evaluation of tracheal epithelial biopsies obtained at the level of the main stem bifurcation. Endoscopic evaluation also permitted scoring of pharyngeal lymphoid hyperplasia, and tracheal mucous secretions. No …

Characterization of the airway epithelial bioelectric mechanisms associated with the effects of epithelium-derived relaxing factor in guinea pig-isolated trachea
… elevated serosal or mucosal tonicity, guinea-pig tracheal epithelium releases the non-nitric oxide, non-prostanoid, epithelium-derived relaxing factor (EpDRF), which subsequently diffuses to the underlying airway smooth muscle to initiate relaxation. Hypertonicity-induced smooth muscle relaxation …

Investigating factors governing cell fate decisions in respiratory epithelium
The maintenance of the airway/respiratory epithelium during adult homeostasis and repair and its construction during embryonic development require tightly regulated cell fate decisions. This regulation takes the form of complex transcription factor and signalling cascades, much of which are …

Stem and Progenitor Cells in Homeostatic Maintenance and Perturbation of the Pulmonary Epithelium
… from a normal pseudostratified airway epithelium to lung squamous cell carcinoma in situ are well documented. However, the contribution of mutated tissue stem or progenitor cells to this process are poorly understood at the level of clonal resolution. Secretory cells are known …
